I was a regular watcher of Joan's very pro gay issues show. This may be the best one.

I see why her show cancelled out. She would ask questions and then interrupts them. Just shut up and let them complete the answers.

I remember when Willie joined the House of Fields. I was at The House of Fields 1st and only ball held in downtown Manhattan in New York back in Sept. of 1988. I so missed the balls of yesteryear, the class, glamour and FAIRNESS ! *big sigh*

@J20M07 This show aired in July or August of 1991 to coincide with the film's debut release. :-)
